Diamant (train)
The ''Diamant'' was an express train operated by the Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB), using different routes over the years. The name ''Diamant'', Flemish for diamond, refers to the city of Antwerp, which is the European centre of diamond trade〔TEE, p. 20.〕 and has a diamond district. The initial service started in 1962〔La Légende des TEE, p. 241.〕 as a first-class-only ''FernTriebwagen'' linking the West-German capital Bonn with Antwerp, using a class diesel multiple unit (DMU).
==Trans Europ Express==
The ''Diamant'' was upgraded to Trans Europ Express (TEE) on 30 May 1965.〔TEE Züge in Deutschland, p. 112.〕 The VT 08 was replaced by DB Class VT 11.5 DMUs formerly used in the TEE ''Helvetia'', after the latter was changed to an electric locomotive-hauled consist. The route in Germany was altered as well; the ''Diamant'' no longer stopped at Bonn and started/ended in Dortmund instead.〔Das grosse TEE Buch, p. 85〕
In May 1966, only one year into the train's TEE era, its western terminus was changed from Antwerp to Brussels (South/Midi), disconnecting the "Diamond" (''Diamant'') from the place that had been the inspiration for its name.〔La Légende des TEE, p. 179.〕 Many alterations in the route followed during the electrification works along the route, sometimes reaching as far east as Hannover. On 29 May 1976, the ''Diamant'' was withdrawn.〔La Légende des TEE, p. 240.〕〔''Thomas Cook Continental Timetable'' (May 30–June 30, 1976 edition), p. 6. Peterborough, UK: Thomas Cook Publishing.〕 The ''Diamant'' was reintroduced on 27 May 1979, again as a TEE but no longer an international service, instead taking over the Munich – Hamburg section of the ''Blauer Enzian''.〔La Légende des TEE, p. 382.〕 It operated on Mondays to Fridays only.〔''Thomas Cook International Timetable'' (May 27–June 30, 1979 edition), pp. 6, 68. Thomas Cook Publishing.〕 After two years this second ''Diamant'' was withdrawn from service.
